Abstract

In the previous chapters, several notions and phenomena characteristic to waves in heterogeneous and nonlinear solids were introduced and analyzed. Internal variables were introduced to describe the fields in microstructured solids, flavoured by nonlinearities. The importance of including nonlinear effects was already stressed earlier by the author [66]. These concepts lead to interesting physical effects, e.g., with respect to dispersion, or to changes in wave profiles, or to interaction processes of waves.
